He's a very young nominee!I'm trying to wrap my head around that the a Supreme Court nominee is my age! UGH!!

For those never Trump folks and others...this choice tonight, and compared to what it would have been had Hillary won, alone is enough to validate what a tremendous positive difference Trump's win is for America.

Would that surprise you if democrats obstructed? I mean, if they didn't have double standards, they wouldn't have standards at all. It's amazing how they have finger wagged the right on not accepting election results, peaceful transition of power, and somehow are all of a sudden opposed to big government and executive orders even though their buddy Obama issued 270 some odd EOs.Gorsuch has received solid reviews from Democrats, citing his conservative values but they believe he uses fair judgement and strictly follows the law.
Trump is going to make it hard for the Senate Democrats to fight this without appearing to be the obstructionists they railed against last year.

They have REALLY shown their true colors this election.
It's a solid pick.Gorsuch has received solid reviews from Democrats, citing his conservative values but they believe he uses fair judgement and strictly follows the law.

After seeing the way the Dems handled themselves after the DNC and the election, I've vowed to never, EVER, even entertain the idea of voting democrat. Doesn't mean I'll vote a straight Republican ticket but if it means stopping a democrat, I will.For the record I'm an independent voter. Unlike my grandfather, I have NEVER voted a straight ticket and quite honestly I think the concept of being able mark one column is unamerican. That being said I feel the Democrats are playing into a Republican trap with this Supreme Court pick. They are pissed about the Republicans not even really considering Obama's pick, who was also a really good pick. I even agree that the Republicans should have given him a fair chance based on the fact that the President was doing exactly what is prescribed by law, but so were they. However, I point out that they wouldn't have been in that situation if they had held on to the Senate with the last set of mid-terms.
That being said the trap is clear, they are going to hold up the nomination for a good pick and the Republicans are going to "go nuclear" and change the rules and so when Justice Kennedy retires (which he has discussed doing) or lord forbid we lose another justice they are going to basically have a ticket to put whomever President Trump wants in the role with the modified rules.
Pick your battles carefully Democrats....
Well I can live with that. Just the fact you are looking at each office makes me happy.After seeing the way the Dems handled themselves after the DNC and the election, I've vowed to never, EVER, even entertain the idea of voting democrat. Doesn't mean I'll vote a straight Republican ticket but if it means stopping a democrat, I will.
